"Watching
the markets... two interlocking phrases immediately come to mind: Ordo
ab Chaos, and Crisis Equals Opportunity. Ordo ab Chaos
is a Latin phrase and the motto of the Thirty-Third Degree of Freemasonry.[1]
It means, 'Order out of Chaos.'”[2]Carl
Teichrib

"...the
financial crisis will lead to the creation of a global central bank
and a global single currency within 15 years."[3]

“Once
a nation parts with control of its currency and credit, it matters not
who makes that nation’s laws.”[4]W.L.
Mackenzie King [former Prime Minister of Canada]

"I
set before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you obey
the commandments of the Lord your God... and the curse, if you do not
obey...." Deuteronomy 11:26-28

During
the Nazi occupation of Norway (1939-1945), my father joined the Norwegian
resistance movement and was willing to die for his country. But when
the post-war years brought creeping socialism, he became disillusioned.
Finally he chose to immigrate to America, which shone like a beacon
of opportunity across Europe's war-torn lands.

Entering
New York's harbor some years later, we gazed in awe at the Statue of
Liberty. But even as we ate our first hamburger soon afterwards, America
was changing. Dwight D. Eisenhower, our war-time hero, was now president.
John Foster Dulles -- a founding member of the Council
of Foreign Relations (CFR) -- was his Secretary of State.

Like
most Americans, we had no idea what was happening "behind the scenes."
We didn't know that Dulles had been a Trustee of the Rockefeller
Foundation -- or that he collaborated with Alger Hiss, an active
member of the Communist Party, and had helped draft the preamble to
the UN Charter back in 1945.[5]

Nor
did we realize that our Secretary of State had chaired a 1942 Federal
(later renamed National) Council of Churches conference. In an article
titled Conforming
the Church to the New Millennium, I summarized the conference report.
While Hitler's armies were ravaging Europe, the Council used that devastating
crisis as an opportunity to promote its agenda:

Does
that sound familiar? Apparently that last point didn't originate with
Obama! Even Time magazine was shocked! Here's its summary of the report:

“Some
of the conference’s economic opinions were almost as sensational
as the extreme internationalism of its political program. It held that
a ‘new order of economic life is both imminent and imperative'
– a new order that is sure to come either ‘through voluntary
cooperation within the framework of democracy or through explosive political
revolution.’”[7]

Considering
Alger Hiss' influence within the Council
of Churches and friendship with Dulles [See
note], it shouldn't surprise us. His Marxist goals fit right into
a church establishment already infiltrated
with socialist ideology. [8]In spite of his
Marxist aims, he served President Roosevelt both in the State Department
and as his adviser at the 1945 Yalta Peace Conference, where much of
eastern Europe was handed over to Stalin. His leftist ideology may even
have prompted his assignment as the Secretary General of the United
Nations Charter Conference in 1945.[9]

In
our UN
Chronology, you can follow the hidden threads toward world government.
Notice that today's radical "change" simply means that we
are nearing the completion of goals set long ago. As President Thomas
Jefferson said,

“Experience
hath shewn, that even under the best forms [of government] those entrusted
with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into
tyranny.”[10]

It's
true! Unscrupulous leaders have traded the solid guidelines of our Constitution
for evolving laws that conform to global standards and human greed.
Since the Constitution was written for a nation that valued God's moral
guidelines, it crumbled under the pressures of power-hungry globalists,
financial transnationalists, and the deceptive promises of pragmatic
socialists. They all saw God's Truth as an obstacle to their success.

To
understand this radical shift, let's take a closer look at the three
sets of laws that have influenced this nation -- both for good and evil.

1.
OUR CONSTITUTION WITH ITS PROMISE OF FREEDOM

Whether
Christian or not, most of our nation's founders based the Constitution
on God's moral law. They knew that freedom to follow God would be essential
to future prosperity.

In
his 1796
Farewell Address, George Washington exposed the main threats to
the authority of the Constitution:

"Of
all the dispositions and habits, which lead to political prosperity,
Religion [i.e. Christianity] and Morality are indispensable supports.
...[V]irtue
or morality is a necessary spring of popular government."[11]

Washington
concluded with warning about the "mischiefs of foreign intrigue,"
the lure of "imaginary common interest," and the consequences
of failure to "prevent our nation from running the course, which
has hitherto marked the destiny of nations." In other words, if
we don't follow God's ways and guard the foundations of this nation,
it will be destroyed -- just like the Roman
empire.

True
to socialist ideology, our current administration seems determined to
control every aspect of life: speech,
beliefs
and values, education,
food,
health
care, money,
the way we
serve God or each other, etc. May we, like the early disciples,
have the courage and strength to "obey God rather than men."
(Acts 5:29)

Most
of us are familiar with the various new bills (omnibus, stimulus, budget,
etc.) loaded with earmarks that Obama had promised to purge. Costing
taxpayers trillions, they seemed designed to deepen, not resolve, the
current financial crisis.

But
that apparent fiasco fits the plans of socialist change agents such
as Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. They -- like Obama
four decades later -- knew how to engineer a crisis that would 'force
change through chaos.'[12]
Former federal prosecutor James H. Walsh explains their Marxist manipulations:

"Cloward
and Piven held that poor people can only advance when society is afraid
of them.... Their strategy to create political, financial, and social
chaos that would result in revolution blended Alinsky
concepts with their more aggressive efforts at bringing about a change
in U.S. government. To achieve their revolutionary aims, Cloward and
Piven sought to use a cadre of aggressive [community] organizers assisted
by friendly
news media to force a re-distribution of the nation’s wealth.....

"New
York Mayor Rudy Guiliani called the Cloward-Piven Strategy 'an effort
at economic sabotage.'.... Cloward and Piven were joined over the years
by nouveau billionaires led by George Soros. Through his Democracy Alliance,
they funded ACORN.....

"On
the horizon are proposed taxes led by the Obama-sponsored Global
Poverty Act that would tax every U.S. man, woman, and child $2,500
for a total of $845 billion to help the United Nations eliminate global
poverty. The goal remains the same, to redistribute the wealth of the
nation."[13]

1.
Public sector (government, which writes the laws and sets
the standards)2. Private sector (business, which supplies resources)3. Social sector (civil society, especially churches,
which provide human
servers trained in political correctness).

This
three-legged
system would be governed by globalist elites. Unlike communism,
such a communitarian system would allow people to "own" their
property, but both ownership and ideology would be governed, assessed
and tracked through laws and regulations based on unthinkable global
standards aimed at worldwide social solidarity.
After all, Obama has agreed to "stepped up US-UN cooperation."[14]

Our
old Constitution-based laws are rapidly being replaced by new laws that
end virtually every freedom that we have treasured. This transformational
legal system fits the UN's rising body of international
laws as well as the 67-year-old vision of John Foster Dulles. But
is this what Americans want? Or are most people too distracted by entertainment
and Huxley's
"feelies" to notice? Take a look at the road ahead:

In
this new system, "We, the people" of America will no longer
count. Our government -- elected to serve us -- will become our 'masters.'
Ashley
Mote (an independent member of the European Parliament) shows us
what happened in Europe, the model for the other planned "regions"
under the UN:

"Even
the EU's public face - the unelected commission - is part of the charade.
Power does not lie with them. It lies with the senior staff running
their departments.... We do not know what their budgets are, how they
are financed, or who approves their costs. Indeed, we do not even know
what powers they have been given, nor by whom.... The other 24 commissioners,
each appointed by the other member states... are figure-heads. They
take the flak in the public arena, and make announcements decided for
them by their senior staff, with the guidance of the secret committees....

"The
European Parliament sits below this vast superstructure... designed
to create an illusion of accountable democracy. A condescending pat
on the head for voters held in contempt.... In effect, the left has
said to the multinationals: you can have your markets stitched up for
you, if we can indulge ourselves in endless social engineering. Big
business has agreed. The result is a largely supportive parliament both
from the left and right of the political divide. The 'Americas' is moving
in the same direction!"[16]

3.
GOD'S UNCHANGING LAW

The
old Christianized Europe leads the way. Rejecting its Christian foundations,
it has filled its spiritual vacuum with forces far greater than it can
control without total repression. Ponder this recent example:

"A
few years ago, the left-wing London Guardian newspaper called Sweden
the most successful society the world has ever known. But Sweden today
is being rocked by a large influx of Muslim immigrants.... Wide-open
immigration policies... have made Malmo, which is now one-quarter Muslim,
one of the most racially divided cities in Europe. Most Muslim immigrants
are concentrated in one district, where the male unemployment rate is
82 percent. Crime affects one of three families in the city and rape
has tripled in 20 years.... In one housing project in the district,
fire and emergency workers will no longer enter without police protection.

"Malmo
has been so accommodating toward immigrant Muslims that a local Muslim
politician and imam has even declared, 'The best Islamic state is Sweden!'...
Right-wing Swedish Democrats, who support limits on immigration, have
been stigmatized by the left-wing Swedish media as fascist and bigoted....
'I think the best prediction is that Sweden will have a Muslim majority
by 2049, so we know where that country’s going.”[17]

America
is marching to the same tune -- right into the embrace of the planned
world government.

While
most Americans still call themselves Christian, few can define the gospel
or explain the holy character of the God they claim to know. Churches
have replaced Biblical Truth with energizing entertainment, and Biblically
illiterate members are being trained to follow group consensus, not
the Word and ways of our sovereign God.

At
a time such as this, we ought to "tremble" at God's Word!
For unlike us, our mighty Lord doesn't change! His laws are operational
as well as eternal. The world may ignore them, but it can't escape the
consequences. As He told us through
Moses over three thousand years ago:

"...when
you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell
in them... your heart is lifted up and you forget the Lord your God.
... you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand
have gained me this wealth.’
"...if you by any means forget the Lord your God, and follow other
gods... you shall surely perish. As the nations which the Lord destroys
before you, so you shall perish, because you would not be obedient to
the voice of the Lord your God." Deuteronomy 8:10-20

Demonstrating
a patience that far exceeds mine, he told His beloved Israel, “'In
returning and rest you shall be saved. But you would not." The
rebellious people refused his gracious invitation. (Isaiah 30:15) So
has most of the Western world.

Today
that call still rings out: "Come to Me, all you who labor and are
heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn
from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest
for your souls." (Matthew 11:28) What will we answer?

concerning Alger Hiss: "Mr. Dulles worked side by side with Mr.
Hiss in the State Department and in the various conferences that planned
the United Nations. But how many American church people knew that Mr.
Dulles and Mr. Hiss worked together in The Federal Council of Churches
and that both were chairmen of important committees of the Council?"[6]
